Majority at CSU likely support Frank

Regarding your report on the April 24 City Council meeting, this group (along with certain commentators on the Coloradoan online site) tried to emphasize that "80 to 90 percent of CSU faculty" oppose the on-campus stadium. I work at CSU and I'm not seeing this at all. There was indeed an informal internal poll, and those opposed were in the majority, but I believe only about 10 percent of faculty responded.

Thus, this raises the question as to the viewpoint of the other 90 percent? I suspect that this vast silent majority actually have no particular feelings either way, and are simply waiting calmly for President Frank to make an initial decision later this year.

The denigrating names being thrown at him online do not reflect the fact that Dr. Frank is admired and respected both by the faculty and the students at CSU, that he is effective (already rather forgotten in the current storm is the fact that he guided us through very difficult economic times in the past two years), and that we "90 percent" fully trust him to eventually make a reasoned, intelligent decision on this issue.
